"Meow."

Wensa stretched his body and let out a low shout, trying to fool him around, but soon found that Angel was unmoved, so he stopped pretending and said directly:

"I didn't expect you to be promoted to the high rank so quickly, I thought it would be at least a year later......"

"Getting to the point."

Angel interrupted the pleasantries.

Of course, her tone was not as cold and ruthless as her words, after all, the black cat messenger in front of her had also been paid to help her hunt the Gazer, and judging from the fact that it could "compete" with the headless courier Renette, at least it also had the strength of a demigod, and it was not rational to completely anger it.

"The point is, I'm evaluating whether to include you in our organization and promote to 'Hopelessness' on your own, which is just the first step."

Winza's tone no longer deliberately imitated the cat's pronunciation, and said word by word.

Organization? Could it be the "Witch Sect"? But from my conflict with Katarina, it should know that I can't join them...... Angel pondered for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when Winsa continued:

"As an apology for what happened before, I can answer you three questions."

Regret...... Is it because it sent a letter to Caterina without the consent of me, the contractor?

Angel thought about it, didn't ask the first question, but summed up three important questions in her heart, and then asked:

"What is your relationship with Katarina?"

"I thought you could tell from the color of our eyes and hair," the black cat Wensa's blue eyes looked at Angel, instantly reminding her of several witches, "I have a direct blood relationship with her. ”

Black cat, and witch, are related?

Angel's brain froze for a moment, but she immediately realized that the "cat" in front of her was likely a human, or specifically, a child of Caterina Pellet, before it left the real world and became a spirit creature...... Judging from their family's experience, it is very likely that it is a son.

"So, you're actually ......"

She subconsciously asked, and then reacted to the question of not wasting it, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

But it also gave her a deeper understanding of the power of "convergence", even if she searched for the messenger in the spirit world, she found a certain descendant of the Ageless Witch. It's no wonder that Caterina can easily find Winsa to deliver the letter, and they may have daily contact.

"The second question is, what is the purpose of her first trying to kill me and then helping me?" Angel continued to ask.

"You and your companions boarded Tracy's ship first and attacked her, and Caterina was only defending herself." Without hesitation, Wensa defended his mother, "The purpose of her help, as I have already mentioned, is because she sees more hope in you...... And this is closely related to your sequence, if you can become a real 'ageless' witch, you will have an equal chance to talk. ”

"'Not old'? You should know the promotion ceremony, is it possible for me to be promoted in the short term? ”

Angel couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"The ceremony is not a 'requirement' for promotion, you have already experienced it twice, and you should understand the key to it. That's not the last question, go ahead. ”

Winsa replied a little lazily, but finally generously gave Angel another chance.

I didn't make it a problem in the first place...... Taking a deep breath and taking the answer it had just answered to heart, Angel slowly asked the last question:

"Who is the 'Witch Sect's population trade cooperating with, and what is the purpose behind it?"

This question involves Ince Zangwill, the Witch Cult, and the truth about the Great Smog, which is Angel's primary concern at the moment.

"To be precise, most of the human trafficking is not done by the Witch Cult, they are only responsible for covering up their whereabouts and finally closing the 'Great Smog' to justify the missing people. It was mainly some figures from the Rune military who cooperated with it, but some members of the royal family also participated, and the specific content of the cooperation was originally in charge of the 'Nightingale of Despair' Panatia, and after her disappearance, the 'Black Saint' could not send anyone else, so it was handed over to Katarina, so only she knew. ”

Sure enough, both the military and the royal family are involved, so it's no wonder that military personnel frequently appear in the clues of the human trade, and Edsak, as a prince, can be used as a substitute for the dead...... But Panatia is missing, not dead? Who is the "Black Saint"?

One question led to more questions, Angel couldn't help but ask again, but Winsa shook his tail as if he was impatient, and said:

"It's time for questions to go, and if you want to know more, you might be able to meet Caterina and let her answer it herself."

That "ageless" witch is also in Beckland? By the way, it says that Caterina took over Panatia's mission and continued to work with the military and the royal family......

Angel opened his mouth, and wanted to ask how he knew that he was going to Beckland, but when he thought that the other party was a demigod witch cat who was closely connected with the spirit world and was proficient in divination, and was a spirit creature, he suddenly felt that this was not a problem.

Seeing that she was speechless, Winsa cocked his tail and spun around in a gesture to leave, but after a moment he turned back and looked at Angel with blue eyes.

"If you had the chance, would you be willing to join a less extreme 'witch sect', or rather, a 'family'?"

Join the Witch Cult? After the great smog, I am afraid that they and I will only have naked hatred and hostility...... Angel chuckled and was about to answer, when she suddenly noticed a word in Winsa's words that she had heard: family.

She immediately recalled the conversation she had with Mobet in Grossell's Travels, where she mentioned that in the Fourth Age, the witches were not the "witch sect" that was currently acting in extreme ways, but an ordinary organization maintained by blood and marriage, known to the outside world as the "witch family".

Could it be that Winsa was one of them?

She looked intently at the table and saw that the black cat had disappeared at some point.

It's fast enough, what the hell is it dodging? Is the so-called "family" a branch of the Witch Sect that continues to this day from the Quaternary Period? And where is the position of the ageless witch Katarina?

The black cat Wensa answered a few questions and left more questions, which made Angel feel a little dizzy, she sighed softly, pulled out a note from a notebook with the recipe for the "Ageless" witch potion, and her gaze stayed on the last line.

“…… Promotion Ceremony: After a long period of time, take the potion with a mindset different from that of your age. ”

————

"Dragonzel's ashes have been buried, Sharon, Ian, and Issinger have all been in contact, and my contacts from the 'Sherlock' period have basically returned to my hands, and of course, in order to enter the upper echelons of Beckland in the short term, the experience of a butler who has served the nobility is a must...... Well, I'll hire one tomorrow and ask him to help me find a mansion...... Oh, mansions. ”

While counting his few bills, Klein paced his luxurious suite in a high-end hotel in the Hillston district, relieving his anxiety.

He prefers to call it "homesickness".

This is a normal reaction to return to Backerland after half a year......

Suddenly, a soft whisper of a young woman sounded in Crane's head, and as if he had finally waited for something, he quickly returned to his bedroom, carefully built a spiritual wall, walked four steps backwards, chanted a familiar incantation, and entered the palace in the gray mist.

"Sure enough, it's Angel's message."

Unsurprisingly, he saw that the crimson stars belonging to the "Queen" continued to expand and contract.

Spreading the spirituality away, Klein soon heard Angel's muffled prayer.

"Dear Mr. Fool, please 'bestow' to Mr. 'World' the emblem of the tainted night that I have kept with you, and paraphrase the following words.

"The 'ageless' witch Caterina Pellet has most likely arrived in Beckland, and the cooperation between the witch sect and the military will continue to be carried out by her, although there are no more organized sect members there, but how strong a sequence 3 witch is, I think you already know it, be careful.

"Once you get the Night Emblem, ask Mr. Azik to clean up the contamination on your behalf, and this trait can be returned to the church in exchange for access to the Antigonus family notes, so you don't have to break into the Chanis Gate to steal it."

Angel's praying figure disappeared from the gray mist, and a faint smile appeared on Klein's face.

Although he had the idea of using Angel's relationship with the Church of the Goddess and Lady Arianna to borrow Antigonus' notes before leaving for Beckland, he did not expect that the other party had already planned it first, and exchanged it for the precious extraordinary characteristics of the Night's Watch.

This is an extraordinary characteristic of a demigod, as long as Mr. Azik smashes the emblem and cleans the contamination, it can make a Sequence 5 step into the high sequence and become the main material of the demigod's potion.

You must know that Ince Zangwill used 0-08 to cause countless tragedies in Tingen after a long time of planning and waiting, which provoked endless pursuit by the power of the church, and the purpose was only to obtain such a power from the ashes of St. Selena.

She was willing to trade it for the possibility of my promotion......

Klein's gaze slowly swept over the long bronze table, and next to the three "blasphemy cards" of Russell, which were neatly arranged and painted with different images, were the "parasite" gloves that Angel had sacrificed here, and the night emblem that had never had a chance to be cleaned up, most likely due to the contamination of the "artificial death".

The gloves and the "Witch" and "Red Priest" cards were sacrificed to the "Fool" by Angel at the suggestion of Mr. Azik before returning to the Northern Continent.

Thanks to Klein's clever arrangement, she was able to exchange these "contributions" for more convenient "permissions", not only to store dangerous items by the Fool through sacrifices, and to receive gifts at any time when she needed to use gloves and cards, but also to give convenient blessings such as "Sea God" and "Paper Angel".

This is also the confidence that Angel was able to use the "Fool Express" tonight.

"Oh, she must not have imagined that I was giving myself ......"

Crane chuckled, took the emblem that was extremely quiet on the gray mist, and his eyes suddenly swept over the "witch" card next to him.

In the spiritual infusion room, in the books that were slowly spread out in front of him, portraits of the emperor continued to appear, gradually transitioning from a cold assassin to a witch in female costume, and finally stopped on the page of "Immortality" in Sequence 3.

Looking at the ceremonial requirements for promotion, the "fool" was speechless for a long time.
